Magic White And Black. Or the Science of Finite and Infinite Life containing Practical Hints for Students of Occultism.
Van Nuys, California: Newcastle Publishing, (1971). Reprint of the 5th Edition. Softcover. Small octavo. 298pp, ii pp adverts, b&w frontis. A paperback reprint of one of the best known works of Franz Hartmann (1838 - 1912) the Bavarian-American writer, physician, theosophist, occultist, geomancer, astrologer, who was part of the late nineteenth century German esoteric milieu that gave birth to organizations like the O.T.O. Hartmann was quite clear that true magic - as he saw it - did not involve specific ritual or ceremonial, but rather a development of individual spiritual powers. In 'Magic Black and White,' he sought to expose the claims of false magic, and to offer instead a description of the conditions and practices that were necessary for spiritual development. Covers lightly rubbed, tiny chips from top corner of first and last blank, text tight, clean and unmarked. A solid, VG+ copy. Item #69525
